Function RANDRANGE

Generates a random integer between two specified numbers. Requests for random integers that are greater than 100,000,000 result in non-random numbers, to prevent overflow during internal computations.

Example

randrange(numbernumber1,numbernumber2,[stringalgorithm]):number

Yes

bigger number

No

The algorithm to use to generate the random number. - CFMX_COMPAT (very simple and not very secure algorithm (default)). - SHA1PRNG (generates a number using the Sun Java SHA1PRNG algorithm. This algorithm provides greater randomness than the default algorithm) - IBMSecureRandom (IBM JVM does not support the SHA1PRNG algorithm)
